For the third year in a row we asked NineDots Gathering ticket holders to submit three images each into the Gathering Print Competition sponsored by our friends at Loxley Colour… Andy, Rahul and Adam judged our 20 favourites and Loxley Colour print and mount the 20 finalists which go up on display at Bounce for the duration of the Gathering.

The final judging is always done by a selection of our Gathering presenters and this year the winners were chosen by Sam Docker, Heather Jowett and Jennifer Moher. They were unanimous in their choices and we’re proud to announce that the Gathering 2018 Print Competition winner is…
